They are great little amps; a good friend of mine (who doesn't play) bought one new in 1985, and there it sits, in showroom condition, original tubes with less than 50 hours on them, and the bastard won't sell it to me. When I visit him, he blows the dust off of it and it gets a small workout, just so the caps don't dry out ... If he didn't live 7000 km away, I would just take it.
